My son wants to play recreational basketball starting in the winter. Is this OK to do according to DA rules?

Yes. They are able to play non soccer sports.

Shouldn't be a problem, there will be some conflicts for sure, but I think winter hoops is 100% worth it.
Honestly, I wish we would combine winter futsal and have the kids play as teams in winter basketball leagues also. At younger ages, floor spacing in basketball is similar to soccer and the concept of playing team defense. It would also make a lot of kids really like soccer more, give them a "fake" break.
I just find it so interesting the concept that soccer players can only play soccer and aren't "allowed" or "encouraged" to play other sports.

Thread hijack ahead Some clubs discourage players trying out for other soccer avenues much less another sport. Odp, pdp, etc. If we're supposed to be developing kids, you would think they would encourage anything that would help a player develop. I know it can interfere with practice and sometimes games but in the long run it benefits not just the player but their team as well. Basketball is a great sister sport to soccer. I totally agree! Often you can spot a bball+ soccer player by the way they shield the ball and/or his teammates.
